If Frito-Lay’s record sounds familiar, that’s because Oreo tried to set a similar record in February for the most Facebook “Likes” within a 24-hour period. But, unlike this latest record.

This was for Likes related to a status update, not for the Page itself. Oreo failed in its attempt after rapper Lil Wayne asked his fans to set the record, which they did, with 588,243 “Likes.” Meanwhile, Charlie Sheen set another new Guinness World Record in early March for the “Fastest Person to Reach 1 Million Followers on Twitter.”
